CFP IGU 2016 (Beijing): Islands Bodies
The 33rd International Geographical Congress (IGC) of the International Geographical Union (IGU) will be held in Beijing, China, on 21-25 August 2016. We are seeking papers for a session titled, ‘Island Bodies’, organised under the IGU Gender and Geography Commission:
Rosamond King, in her brilliant book “Islands Bodies” (2014) examines sexualities, interracial relations, violence, and repression in the Caribbean experience, and how they are portrayed in literature, music, film, and popular culture. The session “Islands Bodies” offers an opportunity to debate over the relationship between islands, gender and bodies in all kind of different geographical contexts and interpretations. The session as a whole aim to compare, in a critical way, the binomial “islands” and “bodies” across different societies, cultures and islands spaces across the world and open up possible new directions in the research of feminism, gender, sexuality, and society. We expect to go through debates over new-determinism, sexualities, interracial relations, age, stereotypes, representations - in literature, visual arts, music, all kind of media, popular culture, tourist guides - in a wide sense. We encourage the abstracts/papers submission that address theoretical issues
Enquiries for this session may be directed to the co-organisers: Marcella Schmidt di Friedberg ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) or Stefano Malatesta ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>). Please submit abstracts (not more than 250 words) through the conference website athttp://www.igc2016.org/dct/page/70047.
The deadline is Monday, 15 February 2016. Note that: (i) titles should consist of no more than 20 words; (ii) no abbreviations are to be used in titles; and (iii) please be sure to include no more than 10 key words.
